joining us is mandy zoo and samir sanhan good morning to you both mandy, you have a pretty goodwin doeat is warning or concerning investors right now are you seeing any evidence that they're kind of pricing in volatility risk, either related to the impeachment or otherwise? >> sure. i would say impeachment is an absolutely important political issue but in terms of impact on the markets, the vast majority are much more focused oj longer term issues. what we're seeing on the options side is people are hedging that absolutely the number one theme but the focus is on longer deeded hedges. most of the interest is going out six months to one year rather than to year end. that suggests people are looking past impeachment towards the economic outlook, towards the 2020 election. i would say those are the issues really driving markets, less so on the impeachment front. >> your interpretation of that is is it that people are already building up this reservoir of concern that maybe can be relieved down the road in other words, is it a contrarian indicator or the markets might be in for a rocky rid

samir, you think that we have seen all the gains we're going to get this year why is that?look at the trade deal, it is probably a political win for both sides, which we're in need of such a win. unfortunately, just doesn't mean a whole lot for s&p earnings, probably doesn't mean a lot for economic data, at least not over the coming months. from our standpoint, you got good gains, in calendar year 2019, even if you stretch back to q4 last year, they're not spectacular. >> that's my point we have gone nowhere in a year. >> absolutely. unfortunatel go anywhere in a year. that's why we're so cautious now, with this deal in place, probably doesn't do a whole lot for earnings, we're leaving the existing tariffs in place and you don't have the certainty that businesses need, like steve mentioned. >> we were expecting another round of tariffs or heightened tariffs to go in on october 15th, tomorrow that's been taken off the table. maybe that gives companies a little more certainty. >> it is possible. but the trk tricky part is a lo these came about a few months ago, the trade issu

samir hosein, give us a little more detail, please.nd wage increases and one of the big arguments being made by these workers that is certainly gaining momentum is, look, gm, when it went through its bankruptcy during the financial crisis, it had to make big cuts that had a big impact on actual workers. now that gm is doing better and has essentially recovered from that big, from the financial crisis, now they are saying, well, we are owed better treatment. now, these workers have been without a contract since 2015 and as you rightly pointed out, it looked like things were going well for them in terms of negotiations but that really stalled over the weekend, so now we are seeing there isa weekend, so now we are seeing there is a lot of question about how long this particular strike will go on. samira, thank you, a little tight on time so we will leave it there. the global consumer giant — unilever — which makes products like persil, dove and marmite — is pledging to halve its use of new plastics by the year 2025 — and collect or re—use
